Posted at 14:59h, 20 MarchOh man, this is awesome! I just cruised around Tmaster to check out the venues and surprisingly, the Conga Room show has a ticket price of $177, not $77. Go to http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0900427391FC49CB?artistid=735895&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=1 and click the Ticket Prices pod near the top. Anyone else seeing that too?

Posted at 12:18h, 20 MarchI’m totally with you LF3121…. it’s gonna be hard waiting until Tuesday to get our tickets while we watch the shows “sell out”. We just have to have faith in the website right?! He’s taken care of his fans before and from the looks of things he’s got everything pretty organized this time.
Check out http://www.lotusflow3r.com early and often.
